35 years and above now eligible for COVID-19 vaccine
Doctor Abdullatif Al Khal chairman of the National Health Strategic Group on COVID-19 says “lowering the eligibility threshold to 35 years of age will enable a wider section of our population to be vaccinated and become protected against COVID-19. Since the start of March, we have almost doubled the number of weekly vaccines administered and in the past seven days alone we have administered over 160,000 doses, across more than 35 vaccination centres.”
Manufacturing sector likely to employ over 100,000 by 2025
The government’s effort to boost the SME sector manufacturing and the shifting focus towards the non-hydrocarbon sector exports, is expected to drive the production value for the manufacturing sector by 30% from 2019 to 2025.
